Abstract: A catheter assembly is disclosed comprising: a hydrophilic catheter; a wetting fluid for wetting of the catheter; and a receptacle enclosing at least the insertable part of the catheter and the wetting fluid. Further, the wetting fluid is a solution incorporating at least one osmolality-increasing compound, and the total concentration of the osmolality-increasing compound(s) is very high, preferably exceeding 600 mOsm/dm 3 . The wetting fluid could either be arranged in contact with the hydrophilic surface layer of the catheter in the receptacle, for preservation of the hydrophilic surface layer in a wetted state during accommodation in said receptacle and provision of a ready-to-use catheter assembly, or be arranged to keep the wetting fluid separated from the hydrophilic surface layer of the catheter during storage, but to be brought into contact with said hydrophilic surface layer upon activation before an intended use of the catheter. A similar method and wetting fluid is disclosed as well. The provision of the osmolality-increasing compound in the wetting fluid provides several advantages per se, such as a improved properties of the hydrophilic coating, a more predictable and controllable wetting process, a more expedient and cost efficient production, etc. Further, the use of this very high concentration of osmolality-increasing compound in the wetting fluid has proven remarkably efficient.

Abstract: The invention relates to methods and compositions for removing a dissociated species from a fluid medium solution during and after it has detached from a solid-phase immersed in said medium, thereby allowing the concentration of free species to remain close to zero, and for improving the signal to noise ratio in assays. This is achieved by employing a substrate, such as a scavenging solid-phase, having an attached binding partner or partners (“scavenger”) for the specifically binding species and which is present during storage. This substrate may also contain regions for binding signal generating components attached to the solid-phase. This substrate binds any free species bleeding off the solid phase, increasing the reliability and sensitivity of assays. A subset of the substrates in the invention additionally forms cross-linked networks of solid-phase particles that further increase the sensitivity of assays.
